Beyond its functional purpose, glass can be designed and used to transform the appearance of a space as a decorative material, commonly known as ornamental glass. Frosted, colored, and textured glass are among the most widely used decorative forms, creating visually impressive and expressive effects.
In architecture, glass has enabled the evolution from solid, opaque walls to transparent and light permeable building envelopes. It allows structures to appear open, lightweight, and visually connected to their surroundings.
This material makes it possible to create transparent and seemingly weightless buildings, strengthening the relationship between interior and exterior spaces.
